Daniel's Prophecy of the Seventy Sevens, Part 2

This Sunday we will complete our study of the vision of the Seventy Sevens Daniel received from Gabriel in Daniel 9:24-27.

My understanding is that the immediate answer to Daniel's prayer takes place during the first ‘seven' through the edict of King Cyrus allowing the Jewish people to return to their land and rebuild Jerusalem and the temple. The ultimate answer will come much later in the final ‘seven' when the Messiah will come to establish a New Covenant and to end the old covenant order (and temple).

In addition to the usual notes I have attached a chart which compares two significant approaches to the interpretation of the Seventy Sevens.
